Indonesia is facing its largest unrest since President Prabowo Subianto took office.

Protests began in early 2025 over budget cuts, the free meal program, and changes to military/police laws.

A third wave erupted in August after a proposed 250% property tax hike and lawmakers’ lavish allowances.

On Aug 25, clashes in Jakarta and other cities turned deadly when Affan Kurniawan, a motorcycle taxi driver, was run over by police. His death fueled outrage and broadened demands.

Protesters now call for economic relief, higher wages, transparency, anti-corruption reforms, and the police chief’s resignation.

Several deaths, injuries, and heavy property damage reported.

Prabowo urged calm, but protests persist with students, workers, unions, and activists united against inequality, corruption, and police brutality.
